The Antonine Wall Roman temporary camp located 450 metres west of Buchley Farm in Lanarkshire is a camp associated with the construction and maintenance of the Antonine Wall, the northernmost frontier of the Roman Empire built in the second century AD. The camp represents the logistical infrastructure required for the substantial military operation of constructing and garrisoning this turf and stone rampart, which stretched across central Scotland from the Firth of Forth to the Firth of Clyde. Temporary camps of this type typically accommodated legionary and auxiliary forces during construction phases and seasonal operations, with characteristic rectilinear ditched defences and internal structures arranged according to Roman military standards. The site contributes to the archaeological understanding of the Antonine Wall's occupation and the Roman military presence in Scotland during the Antonine period, approximately AD 142 to 160.
